Effects.AutoWahApply method

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

Remarks

 

Applies an AutoWah effect on the playing song. This DSP effect can be reset through the Effects.AutoWahReset method.

 

The effect implements the AutoWah by using 4-stage phaser effect which moves a peak in the frequency response up and down the frequency spectrum by amplitude of input signal.

 

See the How to apply special effects to a playing sound section for further details.

Parameter

Description

 

 

nPlayer

Number representing the zero-based index of the involved player

nAffectedChannel

Numeric value that determines the combination of affected channels.

Supported values are the following:

Mnemonic constant

CHANNEL_MASK_0

1 (0x01)

Channel 0 or left channel

CHANNEL_MASK_1

2 (0x02)

Channel 1 or right channel

CHANNEL_MASK_2

4 (0x04)

Channel 2

CHANNEL_MASK_3

8 (0x08)

Channel 3

CHANNEL_MASK_4

16 (0x10)

64 (0x40)

Channel 6

CHANNEL_MASK_7

128 (0x80)

Channel 7

CHANNEL_MASK_LEFTS

85 (0x55)

All left channels

CHANNEL_MASK_RIGHTS

170 (0xAA)

All right channels

CHANNEL_MASK_ALL

255 (0xFF)

All available channels

fDryMix

Numeric value representing the Dry (unaffected) signal mix.

Supported values are in the range from -2 to +2.

fWetMix

Numeric value representing the Wet (affected) signal mix.

Supported values are in the range from -2 to +2.

fFeedback

Numeric value representing the output signal to feed back into input.

Supported values are in the range from -1 to +1.

fRate

Numeric value representing the rate of sweep expressed in cycles per second.

Supported values are in the range from 0 to 10.

fRange

Numeric value representing the sweep range expressed in octaves.

Supported values are in the range from 0 to 10.

fFrequency

Numeric value representing the base frequency of sweep range.

Supported values are in the range from 0 to 1000.

nPriority

Effect's priority level inside the chain of DirectX effects, custom DSP effects and VST effects. Effects with higher priority are applied before effects with lower priority; in case more effects should have the same priority, they would be invoked in the same order that they were added.

 

The fDryMix is the volume of input signal & the fWetMix is the volume of delayed signal. The fFeedback sets feedback of AutoWah(phaser). The fRate and fRange control how fast and far the frequency notches move. The fRate is the rate of sweep in cycles per second, fRange is the width of sweep in octaves. And the the fFrequency is the base frequency of sweep.
